Combativeness is at times useful and necessary, as in some cases 

you require stimulation, the use of excitatives more than sedatives ; 
and on some occasions a talkative, communicative disposition is 



more instructive and effective than a negative or sullen one. It 



was an effective and illustrative communication. A genial operative 



took us through the works. I have been down town and back, but
